2 months ago

Chichester, United Kingdom University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job overview

This post will contribute to a full range of in-patient and out-patient Cardiology services.

Separate Cardiology On-call rota with no commitment to the G(I)M on-call rota

The appointee will form part of a team of 6 cardiologists at St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester who deliver a comprehensive outpatient and inpatient Cardiology service for patients from across the Trust.

We are seeking to appoint a Cardiologist with sub-specialty training in EP/Complex Devices to support the development of a local EP service and contribute to the General Cardiology On-call Rota. 

There is the opportunity for regular EP sessions at Worthing Hospital and we are committed to expanding the EP service at Royal Sussex County Hospital with future opportunities to undertake EP sessions there. 

Main duties of the job

The appointee will join the team of 5 other Consultant Cardiologists at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester in delivering a comprehensive outpatient and inpatient cardiology service for patients from across the Trust. The cardiology team provides daily in-reach to the Emergency Floor (where acute medical and surgical admissions are initially assessed and managed). As far as possible, the most appropriate patients from the Emergency Floor will be selected for transfer to the Cardiac Ward. There will be a regular commitment to outpatient clinic activity. Generic Cardiology referrals are divided between the consultants for triaging via the ERS system.

There will be a commitment to managing the administration generated by these activities including the reporting of investigations back to GPs and responding to GP correspondence.

This post will support the expansion of the complex devices service & contribute to the development of a local Cardiac Electrophysiology service.

Consultant input and support for the non-invasive Cardiology investigation services.

Teaching and supervision of medical students, junior medical staff & technicians/nurses.

The post will predominantly be based on the Chichester site, although sessions at Worthing Hospital will be available and tertiary sessions in Devices and EP will be encouraged. 

Applicants are encouraged to take part in Audit and support junior team members in their Audit projects. There are opportunities for clinical research.
